Naperville Molly's Cupcakes Sells Out Of 1K Cupcakes On First Day

NAPERVILLE, IL -- If the recent opening of Molly's Cupcakes, 30 W. Jefferson Ave., proved one thing about Naperville residents, it's that they really love cupcakes. The store, which opened at noon on Monday, completely sold out of its stock of 1,000 craft cupcakes in just over two hours, management said in a post on social media.

In the Facebook post, staff at Molly's apologized to customers who waited in long lines, but were unable to sink their teeth into one of the coveted cupcakes. They said they were "overwhelmed with the demand and support for our opening day."

Molly's staff also vowed to increase its cupcake supply to meet up with the overwhelming demand."We sincerely apologize to those in line who were not able to receive a cupcake today, we will strive to bake more and do better tomorrow/this week/year's to come," they wrote.

Molly's Cupcakes features gourmet cupcakes in inventive flavors that include peanut butter Nutella, peach cobbler, salted caramel butterscotch and blueberry cheesecake. The shop's seasonal selection includes tiramisu and pecan pie cupcakes in fall and strawberry shortcake and key lime pie cupcakes in spring and summer.

Customers can also opt for classic cupcake flavors, add custom toppings, or choose from vegan varieties.

In addition to cupcakes, Molly's serves up cookies, cheesecake and homemade ice cream.

The chain was named for a third-grade teacher the founder had who baked and brought cupcakes to celebrate each student's birthday. With that teacher as an inspiration, Molly's Cupcakes donates part of its profits to benefit local schools.
